Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One key move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select no City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you just have to target - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the week is picked using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
